Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cap for a container neck.
  • the invention relates, in general, to plugs comprising a skirt which surrounds the neck of a container and a lower part of which, when it is considered that this neck extends vertically with its upwardly directed mouth, is intended to to remain around the neck after the first opening of the cap, possibly in the form of a tamper-evident band.
  • the remainder of the skirt that is to say its upper part, is provided removable relative to the neck, while being initially connected to the lower non-removable portion of the skirt by a weakening line capable of being broken when the cap is first opened.
  • the weakening line serves as a witness of this first opening, for the attention of users.
  • this kind of weakening lines is made by cutting or molding.
  • An example of this type of weakening line plug is provided by WO-A-99/58411 .
  • the nature of the removable connection between the upper skirt portion and the container neck is indifferent, so that the invention also aims, for example, the so-called “snap" caps, it that is to say the plugs able to be clipped around the neck, that the caps screwed.
  • GB-A-2,116,155 which may be regarded as the state of the art closest to the stopper defined in the appended claim 1, discloses a cap whose skirt includes both a removable part, able to be screwed and unscrewed around a container neck, and a non-removable portion, adapted to be held permanently around this container neck by being rotatably connected to this neck for complementarity of forms.
  • the removable skirt portion and the non-removable skirt portion are, before the first opening of the cap, connected by a weakening line which breaks during this first opening.
  • the non-removable skirt portion is provided with two weakening segments which are diametrically opposed to each other: between the line of weakness and each of these weakening segments is defined a strand which extends along the periphery of the skirt and whose current portion is non-breakably bonded to the removable skirt portion while each of the peripheral ends of each strand is connected to the non-removable skirt portion by a frangible bridge.
  • each breakable bridge resists breaking while the line of weakness is already broken, then breaks essentially by shearing by the unscrewing of the removable skirt portion vis-à-vis the non-removable skirt portion, fixedly retained in rotation.
  • the cap of GB-A-2,116,155 provides a clear indication as to its first opening, but requires to apply a very important torque staring to shear the peripheral ends of each of the aforementioned strands, this shear to induce, by camming, an axial descent of the part of non-removable skirt along the container neck in the direction opposite to the end of this neck.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the performance of the control means of the first opening of a plug.
  • the invention relates to a cap for a container neck, as defined in claim 1.
  • One of the basic ideas of the invention is to seek, by means of arrangements that are easy to implement and advantageously resistant to the initial placement of the stopper around the container neck, to cause, without undue effort, the part of the user, one or more local plastic deformations around the skirt during the first opening of the cap.
  • This or these plastic deformations have the advantage of being irreversible, which leaves visible traces around the skirt, easily identifiable by the user.
  • the invention provides, on the one hand, to maintain a first "traditional" weakening line, with the difference that it is associated with one or more more resistant frangible bridges. at the break that the remainder of this line and, secondly, to achieve at least a second line of weakening, less extensive than the first following the periphery of the skirt, so that this second line is designated here by the "weakening segment” expression: this or each weakening segment is located, when it is considered that the axis of the skirt is vertical with its non-removable part directed downwards, vertically above, as well as laterally on either side of one or more of the above-mentioned frangible bridges.
  • the weakening line breaks while the aforementioned frangible bridge or bridges resist without being able to be driven upwards by the part of removable skirt due to the retention of the non-removable skirt portion around the neck of the container.
  • the upward movement of the removable skirt portion causes the plastic deformation of the strand interposed between the line of weakening and the weakening segment, more precisely the deformation of at least one the two lateral arms of this strand, arranged on either side of the associated frangible bridge, by relative distance of the edges of the weakening segment.
  • the opening of the stopper passes into a second phase, in which the frangible bridge or bridges in turn break, thus making it possible to completely disengage this portion of the removable skirt. to the non-removable skirt portion retained around the neck.
  • the cap is closed, that is to say if the removable skirt portion is repositioned around the container neck in its initial position before the first opening, it is impossible to reposition as in the origin or the strands because of their irreversible plastic deformation. This or these strands are found at least partially projecting vis-à-vis the rest of the skirt, which provides a clear indication, so easy and quick to observe for the user.
  • the invention provides, on the one hand, to maintain a first "traditional" weakening line, with the difference that, at the axial level of this weakening line, the skirt includes one or a plurality of non-breakable portions, which will not break during the breaking of the line of weakness and, secondly, to achieve at least a second weakening line, less extensive than the first following the periphery of the skirt so that this second line is referred to herein as the "weakening segment".
  • this or each weakening segment is located, when it is considered that the axis of the skirt is vertical, vertically above the or one of the aforementioned non-frangible skirt portions, in s' extending laterally on either side of this non-breakable skirt portion.
  • the strand of material, located vertically between the line of weakness and the weakening segment has a running portion which extends along the aforementioned non-breakable skirt portion, while the peripheral ends of this strand are frangibly connected, by two ad hoc opposed bridges, to the removable skirt portion, wherein the weakening segment is delimited.
  • the weakening line in a first phase, breaks while, at the same time, the aforementioned frangible bridges are sized. to resist, while each undergoing a plastic deformation stress related to the relative drive between the removable skirt portion and the non-removable skirt portion retained around the neck.
  • the current portion of the aforementioned strand remains firmly attached to the non-removable skirt portion, wherein the weakening segment is not delimited, thanks to the non-breakable skirt portion mentioned above.
  • the opening of the stopper passes into a second phase in which the frangible bridges located at the peripheral ends of the strand in turn break, thus making it possible to completely disengage the portion skirt removable vis-à-vis the non-removable skirt portion retained around the neck.
  • the current portion of the strand imparts a crenellated shape to the non-removable skirt portion, to which this current portion is non-frangibly bonded.
  • the strand or strands are non-frangibly bonded over their entire running portion to the non-removable skirt portion, wherein the corresponding weakening segment n is not delimited, provides the weakening line and the weakening segment satisfactory overall strength, used during the manipulation of the plug before its first opening, especially when it is placed around the neck of the container.
  • the plug according to the invention can be handled reliably and efficiently before its first opening, and then provide, during this first opening, an indication open, without increasing the opening effort to be applied by the user.
  • the clear opening indication provided by the invention is of major interest when the non-removable portion of the skirt remains completely immobile with respect to the neck after breaking any connection with the removable skirt portion.

  • the strand 1032 includes two opposite peripheral ends 1032 2 and 1032 3 which, on the one hand, along the periphery of the skirt 1012, are connected to the removable skirt portion 1012 1 by respective frangible bridges 1034, and which on the other hand, in the direction of the axis XX, are respectively disjoined, at the same time, from the remainder of the removable skirt portion 1012 1 , due to the slit 1030, and from the remainder of the non skirt portion removable 1012 2 because of the slot 1024.
  • frangible bridges 1034 are designed, with adequate sizing, to have a breaking strength strictly greater than that of frangible bridges 1026, as explained in detail below.
  • the weakening segment 1028 and the non-breakable skirt portion 1025 are centered on one another. other around the XX axis. That is to say that the peripheral ends 1032 2 and 1032 3 of the strand 1032 have respective peripheral dimensions equal to each other.
  • the skirt portion 1012 1 When the user first opens the stopper 1000 by rotating the skirt portion 1012 1 about the axis XX to unscrew it from the neck 2, the skirt portion 1012 2 is retained, in the direction of the XX axis, the boss 6 while the skirt portion 1012 1 is spaced from the skirt portion 1012 2 upwards.
  • the weakening line 1020 and the weakening segment 1028 are solicited jointly, as shown progressively on the Figures 16 to 18 .
  • the frangible bridges 1026 are broken while the frangible bridges 1034 deform plastically without breaking.
  • the stresses applied to these bridges 1026 and to these bridges 1034 are not essentially of the same nature: the bridges 1026 are essentially constrained shear, which, in view of their design, quickly leads to breakage when sufficient torque is applied between the removable skirt portion 1012 1 and non removable 1012 2 , while the bridges 1034 work essentially in tension- compression, which, in view of their design, leads to their progressive plastic deformation as and skirt portions 1012 1 and 1012 2 move away from each other in the direction of the axis XX .
  • the effort required for the progressive plastic deformation of the bridges 1034 is limited, even negligible, compared to the overall force that it must produce to rotate the removable skirt portion 1012 1 .
  • the peripheral dimension of the ends 1032 2 and 1032 3 of the strand 1032 is limited compared to that of the whole of the strand 1032.
  • the peripheral extent of each strand end 1032 2 , 1032 3 is less than 10% of the total peripheral extent of the strand 1032, which is to say that the peripheral extent of the non-breakable skirt portion 1025 is at least 80% of the extent device of the weakening segment 1028.
  • the bridges 104 are designed to work in tension-compression and thus resist breaking more than the bridges 1026 working in shear, presents another interest: indeed, during the handling of the stopper 1000 before its first opening, in particular during its manufacture, as well as during its initial placement, in particular by screwing, around the container neck 2, the bridges 1034 reinforce the breaking strength of the weakening line 1020, which increases the mechanical resistance of all of this line of weakening and the weakening segment 1028, thus avoiding that line and this segment begin to break, which would alter their performance of subsequent indication of the first opening of the plug.
  • the bridges 1034 make it possible, in a way, to protect the integrity of the frangible bridges 1026 during the manufacture and the initial installation of the plug 1000.
  • the first opening phase ends in favor of a second opening phase, during which the bridges 1034 break, as shown in FIG. figure 18 .
  • the skirt portions 1012 1 and 1012 2 are then completely separated from one another and the unscrewing of the skirt portion 1012 1 can be continued until the threads 5 and 1016 are fully disengaged.
  • the bridges 1034 can be used to the manner of hinges for tilting the skirt portion 1012 1 relative to the skirt portion 1012 2 , it being understood that, in view of their frangible nature, the bridges 1034 are then easily broken by hand by the user, particularly in view of resealing the neck 2, repositioning by screwing the skirt portion 1012 1 around this neck.
  • the skirt portions 1012 1 and 1012 2 can no longer be placed in a substantially contiguous manner, as they were before the first opening of the stopper 1000, in particular because of the interposition of one or both deformed ends 1032 2 and 1032 3 of the strand 1032, as shown in FIG. figure 19 .
  • a portion of the body 4 of the neck 2 is then directly observable, on the one hand, directly above the weakening segment 1028, and on the other hand, between the skirt portions 1012 1 and 1012 2 that are not joined. : by choosing contrasting colors for the skirt 1012 and the body 4 of the neck 2, there is a better visual indication that the plug 1000 has already been opened a first time.
  • the stopper 1000 in particular made of plastic material, it is possible to use either a molding and then a cutting process, or an exclusively molding process.
  • cutting blades are used to perform, preferably concomitantly, the weakening line 1020, with the frangible bridges 1026, and the weakening segment 1028, driving the one with respect to the other the skirt 1012 and these cutting blades in rotation around the XX axis.
  • the skirt 1012 is molded by integrating the presence of the weakening line 1020 and the weakening segment 28.
